TeamAU are no strangers to extreme overclocking and this blog. This past weekend proved to be a fruitful one with a plethora of amazing overclocking results being put up on HWBOT. We reported on the 3DMARK06 global world record a few days ago and now have a whole host of others to tell you about. Team Australia (Team.AU) is made up of a group of members from the Australian & New Zealand overclocking community (majority of members have their original roots are from i4memory.com), who have come together to push the barriers of today’s enthusiast computing technology and to redefine the local and international overclocking scenes. Team Australia as a group is independent from any hwbot teams and are not exclusive to any one manufacturer.
One common theme here is TeamAU+Gigabyte Z77X-UP7+killer 3770K CPU and liquid nitrogen. Z77 platform and Ivy Bridge 3770K are nearing the end of the road and now the results start getting ever so harder to achieve which makes these records even sweeter. This is the time extreme overclockers start pulling out their gems (best hardware they have) and go for broke.
The get together was in Perth, Western Australia, and lot of the members made the long trip to freeze some hardware which included Deanzo, Dinos22, Kayl, JJJC (special guest from OCAU), SniperOZ, Uncle Fester and Youngpro.
